First TX Mr. Clean Car Wash opening in Round Rock

The Mr. Clean Car Wash is opening its first Texas store in Round Rock next month, creating about 40 jobs.

The company operated by Procter and Gamble Co. subsidiary Agile Pursuits Franchising Inc. plans to open 20-25 stores in the Lone Star State in coming years, creating about 800 jobs.

The car washes include full-service interior and exterior washes, using Mr. Clean products and Febreze odor eliminators. Most locations will include oil change and vehicle maintenance.

The Texas openings are contingent on finding interested franchise owners. The company is hosting a workshop for potential owners in Houston on March 2 and in Dallas-Ft. Worth on March 3. Currently, Agile has 15 locations nationwide.

P&G opened its first car wash in Cincinnati in 2007. Through Agile, it then acquired and rebranded Atlanta-based Carnett’s Carwashes. It currently has six stores in construction, including the Round Rock location that opens in April.
